Abstract
CONTRIBUTOR to Blackwood, under the heading « The Scot in France/' reviewing Mr. Francisque Michel's book, " Les Ecossais en France/' graphically delineates the honorable part played some cen- turies back in the affairs of France, by Scotchmen.The learned critic > amongst other things, successfully traces to their origin several modern French names, and clearly demonstrates, after divesting them of the transmogrifications of time and language, that many of these names for- merly belonged to brawny, six feet Scotchmen, whom little Johnny Cra- paud, out of spite, had christened on account of their aldermanic appetites " wine bags /' in fact the same distinguished class that we moderns, on the undoubted authority of Judge Barrington, would designate " Twelve bottle men/ 7 select individuals scarcely ever heard of in these degen- erate teetotal times, and of which class, Marshal de Saxe, Mdlle.Lecouvreur's friend, was in the last century a pretty fair representative.Might it not also be worth our while to examine some of the ludicrous changes to which, in our own country, some old names have been sub- jected?Every one knew that Normandy and Brittany had furnished the chief portion of the earliest settlers of our soil ; the exact propor- tion in which this emigration took place cannot at present be a subject of debate now that we have in print the Abbe Ferland's laborious researches.We accordingly find, in the appendix to the first volume of his " Cours d'Histoire du Canada/' a list and address of all the French who settled in Lower Canada, from the year 1615 to 1648.No one, perhaps, except a searching student of the Abbe's school, would have vol.1.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
